Hi Couch,

I went to work this morning, and I'm so grateful that I pushed through.

I explained the situation to my boss, and she was able to provide a level of reassurance that I didn't think possible.

TW for discussion of the search.



I quivered through the conversation, and I've still got work to do regarding how triggering all this has been, but...there is some grace in evidence, it seems.

Emailed R this afternoon for reassurance that she's still able to hold difficult things.

Now to begin the recovery from this situation.
